BIG ideas.

Alarming Stats by Shawn Phillips

"The numbers are startling. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, about 30% of U.S. adults 20 and older are obese and 65 percent are either overweight or obese. One out of five kids ages 12 to 19 is now considered obese." ~ Shawn Phillips from Strength for Life

Yikes.

Here's the best (or is it worst?!?) part according to Shawn Phillips in Strength for Life: "64% of obese people don't think they're obese – "it's the other guy or gal. Not me."

It's really (!) hard to change when you won't even honestly appraise your current reality. Wouldn't you agree?

So... How about you? Where do you fit in the equation? Are you at your ideal weight? Do you feel vital and strong?

What can you do to take your health/vitality/strength to a higher level?!?

"Recently we crossed a tipping point where, for the first time in recorded history, the youngest generation of children are now expected to live shorter lives than their parents, even though medical technology continues to advance and we know far more about the impact of poor diet and inactivity than ever before." ~ Shawn Phillips from Strength for Life
